RWBY: The Oni of Remnant
Chapter 7: Jaune Takes His Stand
Glynda had brought the students of Beacon to the auditorium stage, for a demonstration match on the use of Aura, and the two dueling in the match is Jaune and Cardin Winchester, and it was a one sided match, as Jaune is exhausted as he is leaning on his sword while Cardin was still standing strong with his mace on his shoulder.
Even though it was a one sided, Jaune's friends from his Team, and from Team HYPN and RWBY gave their support to him as they cheer.
"Come on, Jaune! You still got this!" Nagisa cheered.
"Yeah, show Cardin a thing or two!" Ruby cheered.
"Yeah, leader! Fight on!" Nora cheered.
Jaune looks at Cardin, who laughs at his opponent's tiredness, and Jaune gathers his strength to charge forward and swing his blade at Cardin, only for him to jump out of the way. Jaune looks back, surprised, as Cardin's mace sends Jaune's shield and himself flying back. Now only armed with his sword, Jaune continued to try and attack, but is blocked by the mace's hilt. Their weapons locked, Cardin forces himself up, towering over a struggling Jaune.
"This is the part where you lose." Cardin stated.
"Over my dead-!" Jaune started but before he could finish his sentence, Cardin knees him on the gut so hard it made Jaune drop his sword as he falls to the floor and his friends winced when they saw that.
"Ohh...yeah he's definitely going to feel that in the morning." Nagisa stated and his Teammates nodded in agreement.
Cardin raises his mace and is about to slam it down on a worried Jaune just when the buzzer rings, the lights come back on, and Glynda Goodwitch's voice causes him to stop.
"Cardin, that's enough!" Glynda told him, Cardin relents and walks away as Glynda walks onto the stage. "Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's Aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-styled duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match."
While she was explaining, Jaune still lays on the floor in defeat and his teammate Pyrrha looks sad feeling worried for her leader. Glynda then turns at the losing warrior as he pulls out his scroll with his low, blinking stats and that of his entire team.
"Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try to refer to your Scroll during combat. Gauging your Aura will help you decide when it's appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more... defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now, would we?" Glynda asked.
"Speak for yourself…" Cardin said with a mocking tone.
"Remember, everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing! Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!" Glynda told the students in the room.
The bell rings, and students start leaving while Pyrrha continues to frown sadly. Jaune, still sitting on the floor, hangs his head in shame.
(Play: This Will Be the Day by Jeff Williams)
The song begins as Hitoshi was at the place his parents died.
(They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child. Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild.) Hitoshi then looks at his Henshin Onsa Onkaku, and then looks and saw Hibiki standing in front of him, looking at each other. As the wind blows past them, the title appears.
(Prepare for your greatest moments. Prepare for your finest hour. The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower.) Yuki and Page, were sitting in front of their mother in their home. Nagisa was sitting on a bench playing some music with his Ongekigen.
(We are lightning. Straying from the thunder. Miracles of ancient wonder.) We see an army of Grimm but were soon replaced with an army of Makamou. We soon see Ramon in front of a legion of goons. Then we see Kabuki, and standing beside him were Dark Decade and Shadow Moon. We soon see the members of Team HYPN in a circle, and the four of them charged.
(This will be the day we've waited for. This will be the day we open up the door.) While fighting, we soon see the three of them in their Rider forms fighting Makamous.
(I don't wanna hear your absolution. Hope you're ready for a revolution.) Then we see the members of Team JNPR looking at the school. We soon see Team RWBY practicing their weapons.
(Welcome to a world of new solutions. Welcome to a world of bloody evolution.) We see Ozpin, drinking his coffee, with Goodwitch next to him on an airship.
(In time-your heart will open minds. A story will be told…) We see each member behind their respective symbols. Then we move in front of Beacon and see every character one by one with the last one being Hitoshi.
(Because victory is in a simple soul!) We soon see Hibiki practicing with his Ongekibou Rekka before stopping when the title appears.
After the demonstration match between Jaune, and Cardin, the students of Beacon were now in the cafeteria to have lunch. Team HYPN, RWBY, and JNPR were seated together, as the others were eating their meals, Nora was telling them an over exaggerated story and Ren explains the reality of it.
"So! There we were, in the middle of the night..." Nora started.
"It was day." Ren said.
Blake was paying no attention to Nora as she was reading her book, Yang was listening to every word with her hands cupping her face, and Nagisa was simply drinking his cup of juice through his straw.
"We were surrounded by Ursai..." Nora told them.
"They were Beowolves." Ren corrected.
"Dozens of them!" Nora shouted loudly as she stands on the table, while Weiss is ignoring Nora and filing her nails, Hitoshi, Ruby, and Pyrrha are listening politely, and the Chidori sisters were listening as they quietly chuckled in amusement, and Jaune is messing with his food.
"Two of'em." Ren corrected.
Nora continues on before Hitoshi, Ruby, and Pyrrha now looks at Jaune with some concern as he continues to mess with his food.
"But they were no match... And in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of Lien selling Ursa skin rugs!" Nora proclaimed to her friends, and Ren sighed when she finished.
"She's been having this recurring dream for nearly a month now." Ren told them.
"You don't say…" Nagisa said.
"Jaune? Are you okay?" Pyrrha asked in worry, snapping Jaune out of it as he turns at his friends.
"Huh? Oh, yeah! Why?" Jaune asked.
"It's just that you seem a little...not okay…" Ruby said.
"Yeah man, you were looking a little depressed about something." Hitoshi stated.
The others stop their distractions and turned at Jaune.
"Guys, I'm fine. Seriously! Look!" Jaune assured them as he showed them a thumbs up and laughs nervously.
"Yeah, I highly doubt that." Nagisa said, which made Yuki nodded in agreement.
"I concur with that." Yuki said.
Then soon heard laughter from Cardin and his Team, which made them look and saw they were picking on standing around a Faunus girl with brown rabbit ears jutting from her hair as Cardin laughs at her and Sky Lark holds up his hands to his head in a mock interpretation of her unusual features.
The Faunus girl was wearing a Beacon Uniform, and has long brown hair and has matching eyes. This is Velvet Scarlatina.
"Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school!" Pyrrha said.
"Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around! You know, practical jokes!" Jaune stated.
"He's a bully." Ruby stated.
"With you on that." Hitoshi nodded in agreement.
"Oh, please! Name one time he's 'bullied' me." Jaune scoffed on that statement.
"Oh really? You want us to do a recap. Well let's see…" Nagisa said as he and the others remember the times Jaune was bullied by Cardin.
(Flashbacks)
Jaune is seen on the way to class as Cardin is going the other way down the hall. When the two pass, Cardin knocks his arm into Jaune and makes him drop his book, then continuing on his way with his hands out as if daring anyone to challenge him.
"Ah, come on!" Jaune cries out.
Jaune and Cardin are about to pass through a doorway, but Cardin clicks on Jaune's sheath and extends it into its shield form as he's going out, causing him to run into his own defense and have it block the exit.
Jaune grunts in frustration as he tries to lift his shield back out.
"Come on…!" Jaune cries out.
Glynda is in the locker room with several students, gesturing at the devices.
"Each of you will be assigned one rocket-propelled locker to store your weapons and extra armor. Additionally, your locker can be sent to a custom location based on a six-digit code."
Hearing this, Cardin looks at Jaune - standing between him and the only open locker in the room - and the cliché plays itself out as Cardin quickly pushes a shocked Jaune into the small dark space and closes the door on him, pressing random buttons on the pad right after that.
"What?! No, wait, wait! You've gotta get me out of here! Please! Don't! Don't! Don't do it!" Jaune begged him.
It's too late to protest when the locker scrunches down and launches up with a burst of blue fire coming from its base. Cardin watches as the locker slowly soars across the sky.
"Ahhh, coooome oooooooon...!" Jaune cries out from inside the locker.
(End of flashback)
The others are totally focus on Jaune now, wondering what he was going to say after remembering all of that. Jaune nervously chuckles as he shrugged.
"I didn't land far from the school!" Jaune told them.
"Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask." Pyrrha told him.
"I agree with, Pyrrha. There's no shame in asking your friends for help." Yuki said and Page nodded in agreement.
"Ooooh!" Nora calls out as she gets up from the table, and soon presents her diabolical plan with a not-entirely-sane grin. "We'll break his legs!"
"Okay, but I call dibs on his arms!" Nagisa said.
"Well before we resort to violence, maybe we should talk to a teacher first." Yuki suggested, and Page nodded in agreement.
"Guys, really, it's fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; he's a jerk to everyone." Jaune stated before he pointed to Cardin's team.
They look over as they heard Team CRDL laughter getting louder, mixed in with the cries of pain from Velvet as Cardin was pulling on her Faunus ear.
"Ow! That hurts!" Velvet cries out before she stops struggling and grimaces. "Please, stop…"
"I told you it was real!" Cardin told his Team.
"What a freak!" Russel said.
Cardin finally relents as he let's go of Velvet's rabbit ear, and the Fanus girl stands up and hurries off, her head bowed and hiding her face from the watching table of the heroes.
"Atrocious. I can't stand people like him." Pyrrha said with disgust in her voice.
"He's not the only one…" Blake said in agreement while staring daggers at Cardin and his Team.
"It's a wonder how someone like him was accepted into Beacon." Page said.
"It must be hard to be a Faunus." Yang said in pity feeling sorry for Velvet.
Having gotten up from the table, Jaune looks back at his friends and sighs to himself before moving on with his tray table. He doesn't realize that Cardin is watching his walk of shame with a sinister grin.
(Next day)
Hitoshi and his fellow Beacon students were now in their history class, with the history teacher Dr. Bartholomew Oobleck telling them about the Faunus Rights Revolution, more commonly known as the 'Faunus War'.
Oobleck was a man in his mid-30s, with messy green hair and brown eyes. His attire is disheveled: his white shirt partially tucked into his dark-green pants and its collar raised, showing a slack yellow tie, along with mismatched brown and black shoes. He also wears round glasses that appear to be opaque.
As Oobleck was lecturing his class about the Faunus War, he was very hyper active, as he was zipping around the classroom in an incredible speed and was also speaking rapidly, all while drinking a cup of coffee.
As they others were paying close attention of his lecture, Jaune was sleeping with his head resting in his hands and Cardin seated behind Jaune leaned back in his chair with his feet on the desk in front of him.
"Yes! Yes, prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution-more popularly known as the Faunus War-!" Oobleck said before he suddenly zooms up to the front of the class and the map covered in papers behind his desk.
"Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie." Oobleck told them as he points at the map of said-area with his stick, then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk.
"Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!" Oobleck then zooms around the classroom more, sipping his coffee again before continuing to zoom and talk. "Now! Have any of you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?"
One of the Faunus students raised his hand, and Velvet slowly did the same as she looks down.
"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" Oobleck said in disappointment, before he takes another sip of his coffee. "I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War?"
Weiss quickly raised her hand.
"Yes?" Oobleck asked.
"The battle of Fort Castle!" Weiss answered.
"Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?" Oobleck asked.
Unseen by the professor, Cardin flicks a paper football at Jaune's head, causing him to wake up.
"Hey!" Jaune said in annoyance.
This made Oobleck to zoom over to Jaune's face.
"Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?" Oobleck asked.
"Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... that the Faunus..." Jaune mumbled as he wasn't what the answer was, Pyrrha coughs at him to get her leader's attention as he turned to her and motions to her lips as she gives him the answer.
"...Had over that other guy's stuff…" Jaune started before Pyrrha cup her hands around her eyes and goes for the most obvious answer. "Uhh...binoculars!"
While Jaune looks pleased with his answer, the others in the classroom excluding his friends laughs at him and Oobleck now back at the front of the class sips his coffee. Pyrrha sighs and slaps a hand to her forehead as Cardin pounds his fist on his desk while chortling.
Oobleck then zooms back behind his desk.
"Very funny, Mr. Arc! Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!" Oobleck told the said student.
"Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier." Cardin said, which causes Oobleck to shake his head in disappointment.
"You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?" Pyrrha asked, which Hitoshi and Nagisa to quietly chuckle. Her comment angered Cardin as he glares at Pyrrha.
"What? You got a problem?" Cardin asked.
"No, I have the answer! It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark." Pyrrha told Oobleck.
"General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured." Blake continue on before she turns at Cardin. "Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure."
"That is indeed true." Nagisa said.
This angered Cardin even more as he stands up and clenched his fist.
"Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat." Oobleck told him and Cardin clicks his tongue as he sits back down, and Jaune laughs at his tormentor's embarrassment, before Oobleck zooms up to him. "You, and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings."
"Oohhhh…" Jaune sighs as his shoulders slumped.
"Now! Moving on!" Oobleck said as he zooms away.
(Later)
After Oobleck's class has ended, Hitoshi and his classmates leave the room, except for Jaune and Cardin due to Oobleck wanting to have a chat with them.
But Pyrrha decided to stay behind as she stops near the doorway.
"Pyrrha is something wrong?" Hitoshi asked.
"Oh it's nothing. You all go on ahead, I'm going to wait for Jaune." Pyrrha told her friends.
"Well okay, if you're sure." Hitoshi said before he and the others leave her behind.
Then after that Hitoshi and his Team head to the training room, to use the exercise equipment for their daily training schedules.
"Man…" Page sighs as she was doing some pull ups on a hanging bar. "I'm really starting to worry about Jaune."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Hitoshi said as he was doing some bench presses with some heavy weights. "He's been a little down even before Cardin started to pick on him."
"That's indeed true." Nagisa said as he was doing some sit ups on a bench. "So Yuki are you really sure we can't break a leg or an arm?"
Yuki was running a treadmill.
"Like I said before violence is never the answer. But still it would be nice for Jaune to swallow his pride and ask his friends for help." Yuki said before she turns off the treadmill and slowly stops running on it.
"That's true…" Hitoshi said before he did his final bench press as he sets it back on the racks of the bench he was on.
Hitoshi then sits up and rubs a towel on the side of his head to wipe off some of his sweat and drinks his bottle of water.
"But I don't think this is a matter of pride. I think Jaune wants to prove himself." Hitoshi stated.
"Yeah, I notice that too." Nagisa said before he was now done with his sits up and got off of the bench. "And it's not just to him, I think he wants to prove himself to his Team and Cardin, that he's more than capable of being a Hunter and a leader."
"I guess that makes sense." Page said as she jumps down to the floor and then she and Yuki walks to them. "But I still can't help but be worried about that."
"Same with me as well. But there's nothing we could do about it, until Jaune makes his decision." Yuki told them.
"Yeah, I guess that's true." Nagisa said before he drinks his water bottle.
(Next day)
Shortly after classes were over, Glynda had announced to the students they'll be taking a field trip to Forever Fall, a forest that has many cliffs and is covered by a forest of dust-red trees.
Team HYPN were seen walking together, heading to their dorm room as they were walking, Nagisa was telling them how excited he is about the field trip.
"Man I can't wait for this field trip! I heard that Forever Fall, is beautiful in this time of year." Nagisa said with excitement.
"This will be my first time heading there myself. I can't wait to see it too." Hitoshi said feeling a little excited as well.
"Glad to hear that man!" Nagisa said as he wrapped his arm around Hitoshi's neck. "We're like two peas in a pod."
"Yeah, I wouldn't go that far…" Hitoshi said before he and the Chidori sisters chuckle.
Then someone caught Page's eye as she stopped walking, and the others did so as well as they turned at her.
"Page is something wrong?" Yuki asked.
"Over there." Page said as she pointed.
The others looked and saw it was Jaune holding a pile of pages in hand, as he was looking around in the area being a little cautious.
"Jaune? What is he doing out here, I thought he was with his Team." Nagisa said.
"Yeah that's a good question." Hitoshi said before he decided to follow Jaune, being discreetly so Jaune wouldn't notice him.
"Hitoshi, no. You know it's rude, to spy on someone." Yuki stated before she and Page saw Nagisa following behind him in the same manner. "Nagaisa? Not you too."
"Umm...sister…?" Page called out getting her older twin's attention, before she sighed.
"Well I guess when you can't beat them, join them." Yuki said before she followed them and Page did the same as well.
After following Jaune, they soon arrived at a secluded area filled with trees and no sign of the other students and teachers.
Team HYPN were now hiding behind two trees for two of them, as they spied on Jaune as he was in the middle of the area of trees.
"What the heck is going on? Why would Jaune go to this place?" Nagisa said in wonder.
"I have a feeling we're about to find out." Hitoshi said.
"Hey, Jaunney boy!" They all look and saw Cardin arriving in the area as he walked towards Jaune.
"Cardin? What is he doing here?" Yuki said in wonder.
Cardin soon stops in front of Jaune, who was looking down in shame.
"So did you brought what I've asked for?" Cardin asked.
Jaune sighed as he handed Cardin the pile of pages in his hand.
"Here...the essay Oobleck wanted us to do...All fifty-one to ninety-one pages…" Jaune said, as Cardin looks at the pages with a smile on his face.
"Great work, Jaune. I know I can count on you buddy." Cardin said.
"Did he just called, Jaune, his buddy?" Nagisa asked.
"Yeah, I heard it too." Hitoshi nodded.
"I'm going to head back to my dorm. I'll contact you if I think of anything else for you to bring me." Cardin said before he takes his leave.
Jaune still continues to look down in shame, as he clenches his fist in frustration. Jaune was going to leave too as he turned around, but soon saw Team HYPN now standing in front of him.
"You guys…?" Jaune said in shock.
"Okay Jaune, what the heck was that? I mean, until yesterday you were Cardin's punching bag, now you're his errand boy? What was the deal there?" Nagisa asked.
"Just what did Cardin do this time?" Hitoshi asked.
"H-He didn't do anything okay...He said he wanted my help with the essay, and I've helped him." Jaune said.
"I highly doubt that Jaune." Yuki stated as she walked up to him and grabs onto his hand. "Please, just tell us what happened and we'll help you."
Jaune clicks his tongue as it reminded him of the time Pyrrha offered to help him train to become a better fighter, before he pulled his hand away.
"I don't need anyone's help! This is my problem! So just leave me alone, and let me handle it!" Jaune exclaimed in frustration, which stunned Yuki and her Team, before she frowned in disappointment and soon turned her back at him.
"If that's truly how you feel, then fine. I won't bother you about it anymore." Yuki said before she walks away, Jaune then realized his mistake.
"W-Wait, Yuki I didn't mean to…" Jaune said but Yuki ignored him as she kept on walking, and Page soon followed behind her.
"Sister, wait for me." Page called out.
Nagisa looks down as he sighed and rubbed the side of his head.
"Come on Hitoshi, let's go." Nagisa said as he takes his leave as well.
Hitoshi was about to follow his Team, before he turned at Jaune.
"You know, Jaune. There's a difference between being stubborn and being prideful. Especially since your friends are trying to help you." Hitoshi told him before he takes his leave as well, leaving Jaune alone as he lowered his head in shame.
(Next day)
Glynda soon brought the Teams of HYPN, RWBY, JNPR, and CRDL to the Forever Fall forest by airship. As the students were walking through the forest, most of them were in awe of the scenery of it.
"Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so." Glynda told them.
The group stops, and Jaune, grunting and carrying a large case with six empty glass jars on top, tries to catch up with them and ends up bumping into Cardin. The bully scowls at Jaune, who attempts to feign innocence by whistling tunelessly.
"Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap." Glynda told them as she brought out an empty jar. "However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at 4 o'clock. Have fun!"
"Oh we will, but just to be on the safe side." Hitoshi said before he brought out three Disk Animals, of an Akane Taka, Ruri Okami, and new one that was shaped like an ape and was colored green, this is the Ryoku Ozaru.
Hitoshi then waved his Onsa Onkaku on the Disk Animals and they soon transformed into their animal forms.
"Hey guys, I need you three to scout the area and be on the lookout for any Grimm or Makamou." Hitoshi instructed them, and the three Disk Animals nodded before they head out in the forest.
Soon after that the students begin to gather, the red sap from the trees, while Jaune attempts to noisily sneak away from Cardin to his team, but the blackmailer sees this and grabs onto Jaune's back.
"Come on, buddy. Let's go!" Cardin told him.
Jaune miserably looks up at his team, where Nora and Ren are already walking into the forest's depths and Pyrrha is staring sadly at the scene. Dropping his gaze, Jaune turns and follows CRDL, to the disappointment of a sighing Pyrrha before she continues on.
Team HYPN had also watched Jaune leaving the team CRDL, Hitoshi and Nagisa were slightly disappointed by this and while Yuki and Page were saddened by this.
"Poor, Jaune...I wonder what Cardin has done to him?" Page said.
"Just forget about it, Page." Nagisa stated. "Jaune made it perfectly clear that he doesn't want anyone's help."
"I know that...but we're his friends. Is it really okay for us just to ignore this?" Page asked, while Nagisa sighed as he rubs the back of his neck.
Then they heard a familiar back, which made team HYPN, turned to it and saw it was the Disk Animal, Ruri Okami barking at them. They soon realized that a Makamou or two must be approaching the area.
"Oh man!" Nagisa cries out as he placed his hands on his stomach, which got everyone else's attention as they turned him. "O-Oh my stomach...it hurts…!"
"Nagisa, are you okay?" Hitoshi said as he placed his hands on Nagisa's shoulder and arm before they both stand up and walks away. "Come on, we should get you back on the airship."
"We apologize for this everyone, we'll be back soon." Yuki said as she and her sister bowed and followed Hitoshi and Nagisa.
As they were leaving team RWBY and the remaining members of team JNPR has a good idea what they were doing, but decided to play along as the continue their assignments.
The so called stomach ache, Nagisa, had was just an act as he and the others were now running in the forest, following the Disk Animal where it has found the Makamou.
"Man I really wish we could have made a different excuse plan." Nagisa said in annoyance.
"Hey it was your idea to begin with." Hitoshi stated.
"True...but you know what I mean!" Nagisa exclaimed.
"Can you please stop arguing, and focus on the matter at hand." Yuki told them.
"Yuki's right. We should focus on the mission." Page said.
"We know." Hitoshi and Nagisa said at the same time.
From afar from the group of Beacon Students, three Makamous were watching them from afar. These Makamous resembled monkeys and was colored black.
The Monkey Makamou were looking at the students as they quietly laughs as they drool at them.
They were about to jump out and attack them, until the three Disk Animals that Hitoshi had sent out attacks them to stop them, before they run away, which made the trio look and saw they running towards team HYPN who were now facing them.
"Good job you guys. You can leave the rest to us." Hitoshi said as the Disk Animals changed to their disk forms as Hitoshi catches them. "Alright, Yuki, Nagisa, let's go!"
Hitoshi soon brought out his Onsa Onkaku, and Yuki brought out her Onteki and Nagisa brought out his Onjo. They soon unfold them and then played them, and soon the trio transformed into their respective Oni Forms.
Soon the three Oni Riders with Page, and the Monkey Makamous charged at each other and soon engage in combat.
Hibiki punches at the Monkey Makamou in front of him, but it manages to dodge his punch by jumping over him and lands behind the Oni. Hibiki quickly turns around and kicks at the Monkey Makamou but it dodges his kick by jumping over it and the Makamou counters by kicking on Hibiki's face, forcing him to stumble back.
Then the Monkey Makamou begins to jump around Hibiki, before it smashes onto his back, forcing Hibiki to stumble forward before he turns at the Makamou.
Hibiki was about to pull out his Ongekibou Rekka, but soon saw they were both missing from his back. Hibiki then saw the Monkey Makamou showing his weapons in its hand as it laughs at the Oni Rider in a mocking tone.
"So that's how you want to play is it? In that case!" Hibiki said as he crossed his arms and soon said. "Kitōjutsu: Onizume! (鬼闘術・鬼爪 lit. Demon Fighting Technique: Demon Claw)"
As he waved his arms out three pairs of claws popped out of both of his hands, and Hibiki soon charged at the Monkey Makamou, and the Makamou did the same as it jumped at Hibiki.
The Monkey Makamou attacks first as it kicks at Hibiki, and the Oni Rider was able to dodge it in time as he ducks under it, and Hibiki slashed on the Makmou's chest with one of his claws, followed with kick sending the Monkey Makamou rolling on the ground.
The Monkey Makamou growls in pain as he placed a hand on his chest, before he glares at Hibiki, before the Makamou growls at him before jumping at the Oni Rider.
As the Makamou was heading straight towards him, Hibiki readies his claws and when the Monkey Makamou was close enough, Hibiki stabs into the Makamou's chest with both of his claws. The Monkey Makamou howls in pain as it let's go of Hibiki's Rekka.
Hibiki then finished the Makamou off by using his Kihōjutsu: Onibi technique, setting it on fire before the Makamou exploded.
"That takes care of that." Hibiki said before he picks up his Rekka.
Ibuki is seen parrying and dodging the attacks the Monkey Makamou was throwing at her. Before Ibuki soon grabs onto the Makamou's arm as it throws another punch, and soon throws the Monkey Makamou in the air, and Page soon changed her swords to their snake sword mode and swings them at the Makamou wrapping them around its body, before she it slams the Makamou on the ground.
The Monkey Makamou soon stands back up before it roars at Ibuki before it charges at her.
"Kitōjutsu - Senpūjin! (鬼闘術・旋風刃 Demon Fighting Technique: Whirlwind Blade)" Ibuki shouted as she channels wind around her feet.
Then when the Monkey Makamou was closed Ibuki jumps and lands a spinning kick on the Makamou's head, followed with another spin kick on the other side of its head and finished with a reverse spin kick on the head once again, destroying the Makamou as it exploded.
Todoroki is slashing the Monkey Makamou with his Retsurai, before he last slashed forces the Makamou to stumble back.
The Monkey Makamou soon stops stumbling and soon punches at Todoroki, and the Oni Rider dodges it and counters with an uppercut, sending the Monkey Makamou rolling on the ground.
The Monkey Makamou soon stands and strikes a combat stance, and Todoroki did the same as he readies his Retsurai holding it in both hands, and soon both Todoroki and the Monkey Makamou charged at each other, and when they closed enough both of them attacked at each other, with Todoroki slashing with his Retsurai and the Monkey Makamou punching at him, and Todoroki attack lands first as he slashed passed the Makamou, before it exploded.
Todoroki breathes out as he rested his Retsurai on his shoulder.
"Now that's a job well done." Todoroki said before he, Hibiki, and Ibuki, changed back to their civilian forms.
"Agreed." Yuki said.
But then they suddenly heard a loud roar.
"What the heck was that?!" Nagisa said a little surprised.
"Come on, we should check it out!" Hitoshi said before he runs to where that roar might have come from, and his team soon followed behind him.
As team HYPN were running through the forest, a familiar voice calls out to them.
"Hitoshi, guys!" Hitoshi and the others look and saw Ruby, Weiss, and Pyrrha running to them as they caught up.
"Hey, so I guess you've heard that roar too." Hitoshi said.
"Yeah we did. Cardin's team said it was a Ursa, and it's attacking him, and not only that Jaune's with him." Pyrrha explained to them.
"Really? So how about we just let the Ursa eat him then." Nagisa suggested.
"Nagisa!" Yuki exclaimed as she scowl at him.
"Jeez, I was only kidding. As much as I hate the guy, I'm not going to stand by and let him die." Nagisa assured her.
"Good." Yuki said.
They soon arrived, and saw Cardin was on the ground, with a large Ursa standing in front of the helpless bully.
The Ursa soon raised its paw and swipes it down at Cardin, Hitoshi and the others were about to run and help him, but they couldn't make it in time...until Jaune comes to Cardin's defense as he blocks the Ursa's attack with his sword.
As Jaune was struggling to defend against the Ursa's strength, Hitoshi, Yuki, Page, Nagisa, Pyrrha, Ruby, Weiss, and even Cardin was stunned by this.
Both Yuki and Weiss snap out of their stunned state, and were about to help as they brought out their weapons, but Pyrrha stops them as she placed her arm in front of them.
"Wait." Pyrrha told them.
Jaune takes the shield out from the Ursa's paw and slashes at its stomach, causing it to lash out and try to crush him. He rolls out of the way and jumps over its swipe at his feet, but he is unprepared for when it launches a claw at him in midair. He lands far away, yet is immediately back on his feet and passing Cardin as he charges again. The Ursa knocks Jaune behind it when he tries for a leaping attack, and he looks at the Scroll in his shield to find out that his Aura level is in the red. He grows angry again and starts to run at the Ursa as it also begins to dash towards him.
As they are just about to clash in slow-motion, Pyrrha sees that Jaune has left himself completely open to the Ursa's attack, and lifts her hand out to him, gathering dark red energy in her arm. Just as the Ursa is about to hit him, the glow surrounds Jaune's shield and makes it lift up to block the swipe. Jaune uses the surprise defensive move to lean on the ground, push his shield back up, and swing his blade right through Ursa's neck. The head falls to the ground as the body slams onto the ground.
"Wow…" Hitoshi said in shocked.
"Uhhh...what?" Ruby mutters as Pyrrha's hand stopped glowing as she smiles.
"How did you…?" Weiss asked in shock.
"Hitoshi has his fire, Ruby has her speed, and you have your glyphs. My semblance is polarity." Pyrrha explained to them.
"Whoa, you can control poles…" Ruby said in awe, which causes Yuki to chuckle.
"No, you dunce! It means she has control over magnetism!" Weiss told her leader.
"Magnets are cool, too…" Ruby said still in awe.
"With you on that." Nagisa nodded in agreement.
Pyrrha turns around and walks away, as her friends notice this.
"Wait, where are you going?" Weiss asked.
"Yeah! We gotta tell them what happened!" Ruby suggested.
"Yeah, no way Cardin's team will pick on Jaune now, after they hear about this." Nagisa said.
Pyrrha turns to her friends showing a smile on her face.
"We could... Or perhaps we could keep it our little secret?" Pyrrha told them before she walks away again.
Hitoshi and the others then smiled at each other in understanding.
A bruised Jaune sheathes his sword before he walks to Cardin. Cardin then looks up at his savoir, before Jaune offered his hand to his tormentor. Cardin smiles as he takes his hand and Jaune helps him stand back up.
"Holy crap, Jaune!" Cardin said in both awe and shock by Jaune's actions, despite how poorly he had treated him.
"Don't ever mess with my team - my friends - ever again. Got it?" Jaune asked in a threateningly tone as he stare at Cardin dead in the eye.
Cardin looks intimidated, possibly even apologetic. With his order spoken, Jaune turns and walks away from a frozen Cardin.
(Later)
After Jaune had killed the Ursa, Glynda and her students head back to the airship and then towards Beacon Academy.
Team HYPN were in the locker room as they put away their weapons.
"Man this whole day sure turned into a big fiasco. Am I right?" Nagisa asked he closed his locker.
"With you on that." Hitoshi said as he closed his locker.
"Hey guys…" Team HYPN turned and saw Jaune standing next to them.
"Hey Jaune, how are your injuries?" Hitoshi asked.
"Their fine now. And look…" Jaune mutters as he rubs the back of his head before he bows his head. "I'm sorry about before, I really am…"
Team HYPN blinked in surprise by they smile, and Hitoshi placed his hand on Jaune's shoulder, before he looks up at him.
"Hey it's alright man. We understand it was only a matter of your pride." Hitoshi told him.
"Yeah!" Nagisa said as he slaps on Jaune's back. "No hard feelings about it. But next time, just try to ask your friends for help once in a while."
"Yeah...I will, and thanks…" Jaune said.
"No problem." Hitoshi said. "Do you want to go and have lunch to cheer you up? We can invite your team as well, along with Ruby and her team."
"Thanks, but not right now. There's another person I need to apologize to." Jaune said before he leaves.
Team HYPN watches him leave with a smile on his face.
"Come on, we should go to our dorm room, and get some rest." Hitoshi said before he leaves as well, and his team followed behind him.
"With you on that." Nagisa said.
